[edit] Gadiv

"gadiv" is both a pseudonym for the artist George Dodge and an acronym of his name (George Arthur Dodge IV). His work is geared toward sculptural assemblage and painting.

1. Non-notability, both for "George Dodge" (no Wikipedia page, no Google hits for this particular artist, as far as I can tell) and for "gadiv" (37 hits, a minority of them apparently referencing this artist, most posts to www.deviantart.com apparently put up by the artist himself - plus one hit for his defunct web site, http://www.idgonemad.com/
2. It's had an {{explain-significance}} tag on it since inception (Apr. 9) with no further edits. I think it's basically an unambitious vanity site.
